So I figure with Armenians boosting ALL infantry instead of… I dunno maybe specific infantry the way all the mounted unit LoS bonuses are separated by scout/knight/cav archer etc… I figure this civ needs a from the top!
Chimu (845-1470) An Infantry and Defensive Civ
- Dropsites and Houses 2x HP
I still think this bonus has value. House walling is grand and valuable!
-
Villagers carry 20% more resouces and move 3% faster per age (cumulative)
This feels like an unremovable part and heart of the civ. The added work rate which means you never get Hand Cart is baked into this design! It is a civ without Handcart and that won’t change! The numbers might based on making them useful but the idea is set in stone. S[peaking of a different resource…

Barracks techs cost no gold
Yup, and now Arson is… still missing. Thats still a whopping potential saving of 2120 gold… assuming you actually research every last one of these dang units!
Team Bonus: Eagles, Swordsmen, Skirmsher train 10% (15 Feudal and 25% beyond) faster.
Training these units 25% faster in Feudal sounds like a no go for me. That is Drush power your Aztec or Bulgarian ally doesn’t deserve! Nor do you, quite frankly!
Alas a moment of silence for the lost Repair workrate bonus, I hence will find it a new home. Somewhere.
Missing Techs
- Barracks: Arson
- Archery Range: Hand Cannoneer, Parthian Tactics, Cav Archer, Arbalest. Elephant Archer
- Stable: Building
- Siege: Bombard Cannon, Siege Ram, Siege Elephant
- Dock: Cannon Galley, Fast Fire Ship
- Blacksmith: Cavalry Armor, Blast Furnace
- Economy: Hand Cart, Two Man Saw
- University: BBT, Heated Shot
- Monastery: Illumination, Atonement, Heresy, Sanctity
- Castle: /
This tech tree still remains unchanged.
Likewise I feel the Bolasi is in a fantastic place functionally.
The unit that needs the makeover, is the Camaquen. Auras are popular with the fellow kids these days! And a man believed to have the spirits of the gods within him sure can abuse this!
Let’s do that! In trade it is no longer the unit that boosts the power of not having armor types so feel free to use Guns and Jaguars against them!
Camaquen now has this: Melee units do +3 (6) damage within 12 (14) range of these units. Bolas and Ranged units get half the damage bonus rounding down (or up if that’s not too strong.)
Well… it’s no Garland Wars but it can still knock you all down. The problem is the UU is very convertible since Heresy doesnt exist here.
I think Braided Leather UT doesn’t need much change but the Gourd Telephone? +6 damage and 10% M/ASpeed tis a big yikes from me! What should it become… heck if I know!
I feel Blast Furnace gotta go
